4.  The frontal lobe is located at the front of the brain
◦ Associated with reasoning, motor skills, higher level cognition,
and expressive language. At the back of the frontal lobe, near the
central sulcus, lies the motor cortex. This area of the brain
receives information from various lobes of the brain and utilizes
this information to carry out body movements. Damage to the
frontal lobe can lead to changes in sexual habits, socialization,
and attention as well as increased risk-taking.
The parietal lobe is located in the middle section of the brain
 Associated with processing tactile sensory information such as
pressure, touch, and pain. A portion of the brain known as the
somato sensory cortex is located in this lobe and is essential to
the processing of the body's senses. Damage to the parietal
lobe can result in problems with verbal memory, an impaired
ability to control eye gaze and problems with language.

5.  The temporal lobe is located on the bottom section of the brain.
◦ This lobe is also the location of the primary auditory cortex,
which is important for interpreting sounds and the language we
hear.
◦ The hippocampus is also located in the temporal lobe, which is
why this portion of the brain is also heavily associated with the
formation of memories. Damage to the temporal lobe can lead to
problems with memory, speech perception, and language skills.
 The occipital lobe is located at the back portion of the brain
◦ Associated with interpreting visual stimuli and information.
◦ The primary visual cortex, which receives and interprets
information from the retinas of the eyes, is located in the occipital
lobe. Damage to this lobe can cause visual problems such as
difficulty recognizing objects, an inability to identify colors, and
trouble recognizing words.
